May the God of comfort be with you doing your time of grieving,

I just found out about Jim's passing. Although I haven't seen Jim for awhile. I felt a deep loss in my heart. I had the honor of being Jim's teammate for IHS football, wrestling, and track. We crammed Jim, Ray Podojil, my brother Daryl and myself into Jim's tiny Subaru! Jim drove the car up my parents driveway and up the sidewalk to our front door.

Please accept our heartfelt sympathies for your loss...our thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time.

I am so sorry to hear about Jim. When I taught Safety Town Jim was my partner as "the policeman." We had so much fun working together and he was outstanding with the kids.

Our deepest sympathy goes out to the family and friends at this difficult time. Our prayers go out to you

Jim was a good friend to two of my friends at IHS, Daryl and Dale Kalinowski. Twice he interceded on my behalf when I got too big for my britches. I also remember when he won the Brecksville Wrestling Tournament. My sympathies to his family in your time of grief. Joe Chaff

My very deepest sympathies to Audrey and Jim's family, but most of all to our two son's. I know how much you will miss your father, he was always there for you. He was a wonderful father to you and was so proud of both of you. May he rest in peace now.
